[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1295424, member: 24098"] OK, that's not such a good idea, because it defeats the point of having a *backup*. Essentially, your redundant copy is now gone and the file is only stored in one place and subject to hardware failure (and all hard disks will fail, it's not a question of "if", but "when"). Macs like plenty of free space on the system drive. So, if you're in a situation where you're close to running out of space, the machine will start to bog down even after you clean it up. The best solution is to upgrade to a roomier internal hard disk. That should be your next order of business, assuming you can recover the Time Machine drive. [/QUOTE]
